This Republic Day, KORUM Mall vows to go digital

Thane, January 25, 2017: In the wake of recent demonetisation, Thane’s favourite shopping mall, KORUM, has come up with a truly unique way to pledge their support for the move towards a cashless economy. To commemorate this Republic Day, KORUM will be going all out in their attempts to encourage digital payments, by bringing its patrons together to take an oath in support of the cause.

In keeping with the government’s initiative to promote cashless transactions, KORUM, probably the first commercial enterprise of its kind to do so, will encourage its patrons to adopt a pledge, wherein customers can express their support for the demonetisation drive on tricoloured notes, and paste them onto the I-Pledge Wall erected especially for the occasion.

As a part of this endeavour, the mall will be promoting downloads and use of the BHIM app, a unified transaction interface that allows users to easily make or accept payments with a single tap of the screen. Individuals who download the app onto their smartphones will be rewarded with a free voucher from KORUM.

The celebrations, spanning a period of five days, from January 25th to 29th, will be marked by flash mob performances and fun interactions with the crowd, where by correctly answering questions on digital payments, customers can win exciting prizes. An official oath will be administered at the mall, and shoppers who make digital payments on the day of the pledge stand to win vouchers for different products and services available.

Speaking about the initiative, a KORUM spokesperson said, “Through activities such as the promotion of cashless payments and building the Tricolour I-Pledge Wall with customer oaths, we wish not only to encourage a transition to a digital economy, but also hope to engage shoppers in contributing to the nation-building process in what ways they can. Through participation in such activities, people are made aware of their responsibility towards helping to eradicate the bane of black money and cash hoarding.”
